Answer:

all positive numbers

Explanation:

You want to know the domain of the log function.

Log function

The log function ln(x) is defined for all x > 0. A log function with any other base is similarly defined.

log function domain: all positive numbers

A parent log function has a vertical asymptote at x=0, and an x-intercept at x=1. Its vertical scaling will depend on the base of the logarithm. Like any function, it can be translated and scaled horizontally and vertically.

Additional comment

In the field of complex numbers, the log function is defined for any non-zero number. For example, ln(-1) = πi.

The range is all real numbers.
